Should I stretch more?

Aging and that growing feeling of “tightness”? Let’s break it down.

You might think a good stretch will do the trick. But sometimes, what feels like tightness is actually... weakness. Yep, even if you stretch that muscle, it might still feel tense because it’s not strong enough!

Think you might have this strength vs. tightness issue?

Ask yourself:

Do I often stay in the same posture for hours on end?

Does my routine - maybe a desk job or long drives - make certain areas (like lower back or hips) feel “tight”?

If these ring true, you might just need to beef up those muscles, not just stretch ‘em!
